Hi All,

 

I have been getting a failed error when encoding anything with H264 from AE using Media Encoder. Has anyone else had this problem? 

Here is the complete error message:

Hi JPooley_H,

 

I was able to identify that it was a transition from Animation Composer that was giving me that error. Even though I have used the same transition many times, it was failing because of this. I deleted it, and it worked perfectly.

 

What I will do next, is to create a new comp in AE and use that transition and see if it gives me the same error.

 

I will keep you posted! I APPRECIATE your input and help. What I've seen is that there is some sort of problem with ADOBE in regards to this problem as it seems to not be liking specific add ons / plugins and they are all different for everyone.

Hi, I have this same problem. Were you able to fix it? If so, how?

I was getting this error yesterday with Red Giant Universe filling up the VRAM on the GPU. 

What do you have at 44:14-44:23? A transition? 

Close all other open programs and try exporting again. 

Try copying the contents of the sequence to a new one. 

Try exporting to a mezzanine format like DNxHD and then bring that back in and export again to H.264

Select Software Only mode in the Project Settings

Also check the Event Viewer

Found out that it might be an Animation Composer transition that for some reason AE and AME are not reading it properly. Checking to see if that fixes it.
